I have a simple visual basic application and what i want it to do is to detect when the screen lock has been applied either by a user or by the operating system after a configured time.

Basically,

My app will receive messages via TCP/IP and perform certain actions. What i need it to do is to detect when the screen is locked as it can't perform those tasks anymore. When the screen lock is detected it needs to return the message via TCP/IP.

I'm happy with the TCP/IP bits but all i need to do is to detect the screen lock.

Any ideas?
